Despite COVID, Making Housing and Community Happen (MHCH) has been thriving and has had significant successes. This year on Dec. 4-6 MHCH celebrated its annual event “There’s No Place Like Home” online with music, stories and presentations about our housing justice work. Nearly 200 people showed up for these events–people of all races, ethnicities and backgrounds, united by a common concern for ending homelessness and housing insecurity. You can see the videos of each night, edited by our talented assistant Morgan Tucker:
FRIDAY: “Affordable/Supportive Housing and Building Affordable Housing on Congregational Land.” Emcee, Anthony Manousos. https://youtu.be/Ee5uzGRfidU
SATURDAY: “Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) and Community Land Trust (CLT).” Emcee, Bert Newton. https://youtu.be/uaJJBqej8GM
SUNDAY: “Safe Parking and North Fair Oaks Empowerment Initiative.” Emcee, Jill Shook. https://youtu.be/Oa64pEbE14g

We’re seeking to raise $25,000 to support our housing justice work in 2021, and we’re now three quarters of the way to our goal. Please consider making a contribution, especially on a recurring basis. That’s what provides our organization with financial stability.
